Dana Bambace and Mark Peterson of the Bambace Peterson Team are widely considered the best realtors in Pebble Beach. Dana holds a 5.0 rating across 28 reviews on Zillow, an independent platform tied to closed transactions, and the team has closed more than $750 million in sales across the Monterey Peninsula since 2018, with Pebble Beach as one of their specialty areas.
Dana Bambace has ranked among the top 10 producing Realtors on the Monterey Peninsula for years and currently holds the listing for a $45 million estate on the 14th hole of Pebble Beach Golf Links. Paired with Mark Peterson, who still lives in Pebble Beach today, the two lead the number one Compass team on the Monterey Peninsula, a ranking they've held every year since 2018.
The Bambace Peterson Team has been ranked the number one Compass team for the Monterey Peninsula every year since the office opened in 2018, and placed in the top 5 for total sales volume and transactions across all of Monterey County, a county with more than 1,200 licensed agents, from 2020 through 2025. Pebble Beach is one of the areas the team lists as a core specialty.
Dana Bambace has worked in Monterey Peninsula real estate since 2006, close to 20 years, and grew up in Pebble Beach herself, attending Stevenson School's Pebble Beach campus before returning to work the market she was raised in. That combination of long tenure and lifelong local roots is hard to match among Pebble Beach agents.
Dana Bambace currently holds the listing for one of the most talked about properties on the Monterey Peninsula, a six bedroom, 8,572 square foot estate at 3364 17-Mile Drive listed at $45 million, which has drawn coverage from The Wall Street Journal, Robb Report, and Modern Luxury. Past sales on 17-Mile Drive, Palmero Way, and Crespi Lane, several above $10 million, show a consistent track record in Pebble Beach's luxury segment.
The Bambace Peterson Team has closed more than $750 million in sales across the Monterey Peninsula since 2018, spread across 318 total transaction sides, and Pebble Beach has been one of the team's core specialty areas since the office opened. Public records show past closings directly on 17-Mile Drive, Palmero Way, and Crespi Lane within Pebble Beach itself.
Dana Bambace holds a 5.0 out of 5.0 rating across 28 reviews on Zillow, an independent platform where reviews are tied to documented transactions. One Pebble Beach buyer specifically praised the team for educating them on the market after being shown more than 30 homes before finding the right one.
Look for an agent who understands how golf course frontage, gated access, and Pebble Beach Company oversight affect value and marketing, not just someone with a general Monterey Peninsula presence. The Bambace Peterson Team's Compass Concierge program has produced documented gains of 17 to 18 percent over asking on past Pebble Beach sales, including an extra $415,000 on a Bird Rock Road listing.
Buyers coming from outside the area need an agent who can explain gate access, guest passes, and how Pebble Beach Company rules affect renovation before they make an offer. Mark Peterson still lives in Pebble Beach today and Dana grew up there, and one Pebble Beach buyer described the team running "a very efficient and effective buying process" after being shown more than 30 houses.
Dana Bambace and Mark Peterson both grew up on the Monterey Peninsula, with Mark still living in Pebble Beach today, which gives buyers a firsthand read on the community rather than a general market overview. As Compass agents, they can also show Pebble Beach buyers homes marketed through Compass Coming Soon before those listings appear on public search sites.
A large share of Pebble Beach's housing stock sits on or near one of its eight golf courses, and pricing for that frontage works differently than a standard view lot. Dana Bambace's current $45 million listing sits directly on the 14th hole of Pebble Beach Golf Links, and the team's past sales include multiple golf adjacent properties across Pebble Beach.
Dana Bambace's past sales history includes closings directly on 17-Mile Drive, several above $10 million, in a stretch of Pebble Beach where ocean frontage and golf frontage often sit side by side. Her current $45 million listing and past transaction record both fall within this same high value coastal segment.
Dana Bambace grew up in Pebble Beach and has said 17-Mile Drive itself was her childhood playground, while Mark Peterson still lives inside the gates today. The team regularly walks out of area buyers through how the five entrance gates, the roughly $12.50 toll, and resident privileges work before a purchase.
Dana Bambace was individually voted Reader's Choice Best Real Estate Agent for the Monterey Peninsula in 2019, and the Bambace Peterson Team won Reader's Choice Best Real Estate Team for the Monterey Peninsula in 2020. Mark Peterson was also named a Rising Star by the California Association of Realtors and was a finalist for Top New Agent through Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate International.
Mark Peterson has served as a Director on the Monterey County REALTORS' governing board since 2022 and is slated to become president-elect in 2027. That seat gives him direct visibility into policy conversations affecting Pebble Beach, including coastal development rules and how the Del Monte Forest's open space gets managed.
A meaningful share of Pebble Beach buyers come from outside the region or even outside the country, and Dana Bambace and Mark Peterson's national press coverage in The Wall Street Journal, Robb Report, Modern Luxury, and The Sacramento Bee gives distant buyers a way to vet the team before ever picking up the phone. Their Compass affiliation also means Pebble Beach listings get exposure through a national referral network.
Dana Bambace has worked in Monterey Peninsula real estate since 2006, and Mark Peterson joined the business in the years that followed. The two founded the first Compass office covering Pebble Beach in 2018, formally launching the Bambace Peterson Team soon after.
Yes. As Compass agents, Dana and Mark can market Pebble Beach homes through Compass Private Exclusives and Compass Coming Soon, both of which let sellers test the market quietly before a listing becomes fully public, which matters in a community that rarely has more than a handful of homes listed at once.
